Puppy Introduction Groom

Starting at $65

Currently available at our Raleigh location

Start Them on the Right Paw

A puppy's early grooming experiences can shape how they feel about grooming for years to come.

Our Puppy Introduction Groom focuses on creating a gentle, positive introduction to professional grooming rather than rushing to achieve a perfect haircut.

Your puppy will be introduced to bathing, drying, brushing, nail care, grooming tools, and light trimming at a pace appropriate for them.

Available for puppies under 6 months of age.

Doodles, Poodles & Specialty Coats

We love the fluff!

Curly, dense, double-coated, long, and other high-maintenance coats require additional time and specialized care.

A Specialty Coat Fee of $15–$35+ may apply based on your dog's size, coat type, coat length and condition, desired style, and grooming time required.

What dog owners say

WHAT TO EXPECT

Personalized From Nose to Tail

No two dogs are exactly alike, and neither are their grooming needs.

Before your dog's groom, we'll discuss your preferences, their coat, lifestyle, and grooming needs so we can create a plan that works for both of you.

Your dog's comfort and safety always come first. We prioritize patient, positive handling and quality care rather than rushing dogs through the grooming process.

Matting & Coat Condition

Maintaining your dog's coat between professional grooming appointments is an important part of keeping grooming comfortable.

If significant matting is present, additional grooming time and fees may be required. In some cases, a shorter haircut may be the safest and most comfortable option.

We will never intentionally cause your dog discomfort simply to preserve coat length.
